"MANY THOUGHTS," &c., are evidently the produce of years of research. We look up any subject under the sun, and are pretty sure to find something that has been said-generally well said-upon it."--Examiner.

"Many beautiful examples of thought and style are to be found among the selections."-Leader. "There can be little doubt that it is destined to take a high place among books of this class.-" Notes and Queries.

"Here is matter suited to all tastes, and illustrative of all opinions; morals, politics, philosophy, and solid information. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it one of the most important books of the season. Credit is due to the publishers for the elegance with which the work is got up, and for the extreme beauty and correctness of the typography." -Morning Chronicle.

"Of the numerous volumes of the kind, we do not remember having met with one in which the selection was more judicious, or the accumulation of treasures so truly wonderful."-Morning Herald. "Mr. Southgate appears to have ransacked every nook and corner for gems of thought."-Allen's Indian Mail.

"The selection of the extracts has been made with taste, judgment, and critical nicety.”— Morning Post.

"This is not a law-book; but, departing fro our usual practice, we notice it because it is likely to be very useful to lawyers."-La Tours,

"The collection will prove a mine rich and inexhaustible, to those in search of a quotation." Journal.

"There is not, as we have reason to know, a single trashy sentence in this volume. Open where we may, every page is laden with the wealth of foundest thought, and all aglow with the loftiest inspiration of genius. To take this book into on hands is like sitting down to a grand conversazione with the greatest thinkers of all ages."-Star.

"We have no hesitation whatever in describing Mr. Southgate's as the very best book of the class. There is positively nothing of the kind in the language that will bear a moment's comparison with it."-Manchester Weekly Advertiser.

"There is no mood in which we can take it up without deriving from it instruction, consolation, and amusement. We heartily thank Mr. Southgate for a book which we shall regard as one of our best friends and companions."-Cambridge Curo nicle.

"This work possesses the merit of being a magnificent gift-book, appropriate to all times and seasons; a book calculated to be of use to the scholar, the divine, or the public man." "-Freemason's Magazine.

"It is not so much a book as a library of quotations."-Patriot.

"The quotations abound in that thought which is the mainspring of mental exercise." - Linpool Courier.

"For purposes of apposite quotation, it cannot be surpassed."—Bristol Times,

"It is impossible to pick out a single passage in the work which does not, upon the face of it. justify its selection by its intrinsic merit."-Do&t Chronicle.

Mr.
